ORTEC to Showcase Innovative Delivery and Load Building Solutions at Manifest 2025

Atlanta, GA – February 10, 2025 — ORTEC, a leading provider of advanced analytics and optimization solutions, announced today its participation as a Gold Sponsor at Manifest 2025, taking place from February 10 to 12, 2025 in Las Vegas. At booth #719, show attendees will discover how ORTEC's optimization solutions offer end-to-end visibility and control by combining loading and route optimization with planning and execution functionalities. AI-driven recommendations and data analytics continuously help their customers to increase capacity, decrease transportation costs, and increase customer service. ORTEC solutions ultimately give their clients the ability to predict, prepare, plan, execute, monitor, and improve their operations.

With supply chains becoming more complex and customer expectations rising, the need for advanced optimization tools has never been greater. ORTEC’s own research underscores these challenges, in which a recently conducted industry survey that was presented to more than 2,500 company supply chain executives revealed over half of respondents (52%) rated their organization's current last-mile delivery planning effectiveness as below “excellent” or “good.” Additionally, the survey found that nearly 40% of respondents need to adjust delivery routes multiple times per day due to unexpected delays, emphasizing the pressing need for innovative solutions, like those ORTEC will showcase during the conference, in overcoming last-mile delivery and load-building challenges.

At Manifest, ORTEC will feature two key areas within its portfolio. Within its Delivery Optimization Solutions, ORTEC’s Zone Engineering Manager (ZEM) tool will demonstrate how businesses can make strategic decisions through optimized territory creation, visit day scheduling, and standard routing. The solution’s ability to calculate multiple scenarios simultaneously allows for quick, data-driven decision-making. When business conditions change, ZEM proactively identifies when and where to re-engineer processes using AI.

Within Load Building Solutions, ORTEC will highlight its native tablet app, which features 3D load-building visualizations that support warehouse loaders during the loading process and drivers during unloading. The app provides user-friendly loading instructions, significantly reducing the learning curve for new warehouse hires while decreasing the time experienced loaders need to train them. By improving productivity for drivers at each stop, this app ensures greater operational efficiency throughout the delivery chain.

In addition to its booth presence, ORTEC Americas CEO Mat Witte will be presenting “Best Practices in Final Mile Delivery through Modernizing Technology and Processes” with customer Joe Candio, Director of Operations at DHL. Scheduled on February 11 at 11:30 AM PST, Witte and Candio will explore best practices and strategies that modernize final-mile optimization. The presentation will emphasize the leadership role in aligning strategy with execution and the internal alignment required for business and operational success. Attendees will gain insights into how DHL leverages modern technology across multiple delivery models to serve a diverse clientele, with a focus on sustainability in the final-mile delivery space. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to effectively manage delivery frequencies, optimize routes, and leverage cutting-edge technology to refine final-mile operations.

“Manifest 2025 is an incredible opportunity for us to connect with industry leaders and showcase our innovative solutions,” said Mat Witte, CEO of ORTEC Americas. “I am also extremely honored to be taking the stage with our longtime customer, DHL, to share how strategy, technology, and execution led to favorable outcomes for their supply chain logistics.”
